Police Searching For Missing Infant In Whatcom County

The Whatcom County Sheriff's Office has launched a search for a missing infant.

According to the department spokesperson, Jeff Parks, at approximately 8:30am Friday morning the Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a missing 2-month-old baby in the 1100 block of Willey's Lake Road, east of Custer, WA.

The initial reporting party, a grandmother not at the scene, called 911 to report that her son had called her saying that when he woke up Friday morning to find his baby missing. The father checked with neighbors, who had not seen the infant either.

Due to the age and vulnerability of the child a statewide law enforcement bulletin was issued and local hospitals notified. The circumstances involving the missing infant do not meet the criteria and requirements for the AMBER Alert Protocol, which was not activated.

Parks said the child's father woke up Friday morning and discovered that his son was missing. The child's grandmother called 911 to report the missing child at about 8:30 a.m.

The father reported that the door of the house was open when he woke up, but nothing else seemed out of the ordinary, Parks said.

Deputies, detectives and police dogs canvassed the area but did not find the child.

Parks said an Amber Alert was not issued because the Sheriff's Office did not have a suspect or vehicle description that would aid in locating the child.

The child's mother, Brooke, was booked into the Whatcom County Jail Thursday to await transfer to a state prison to begin serving a sentence for a second-degree robbery conviction, court records indicate.

Whatcom County Search and Rescue volunteers combed the property east of Custer and berry patches surrounding the home Friday night searching for clues to the child’s disappearance.

Family and friends were gathered at the property as the volunteers searched. The boy’s grandmother declined to be interviewed Friday night.
Parks said detectives were interviewing people who were in the home recently.

The search is on for a 2-month-old baby who disappeared from his home on Friday morning while his father was sleeping.

Investigators consider the child's disappearance to be suspicious, and believe he may be in danger.

"It would be suspicious. It's highly unusual and suspicious, and we definitely consider that the child is in danger," said Deputy Jeff Parks with the Whatcom County Sheriff's Department. "The bottom line is basically we want to get the child back in with the family or seen and cared for to make sure the child is okay as soon as possible."

Oh Baby Jon..Please let them find you safe and sound. And why did Daddy call grandma instead of 911 RIGHT AWAY?????

I can hardly read this thread. What are the chances that mom sent someone to get the baby? Probably pretty slim. Does she have family that did not want the child to stay with his father? Let's hope so.

Prayers the baby is found soon.

I think so because if the father would have thought it was a stranger abduction he would have called 911 first. He must have had some reason to call a family member first.
